"Psychology research explores the experiences and behaviors of groups and individuals, and uses both quantitative and qualitative methods to do so. Psychology often uses experimental designs to test hypotheses, which will produce data requiring statistical analysis. Other types of data generated might be phenomenological or discursive narratives describing subjects’ inner lives and experiences of their mental states. For an introduction to doing quantitative psychological research, try The SAGE Handbook of Quantitative Methods in Psychology."

"Classics in the History of Psychology is an effort to make the full texts of a large number of historically significant public domain documents from the scholarly literature of psychology and allied disciplines available on the World Wide Web. There are now over 25 books and about 200 articles and chapters on-line. The site also contains links to over 200 relevant works posted at other sites."

The target audience is researchers, teachers, and students of the history of psychology, both for use in their courses on the history of psychology, and for the purposes of primary academic research. To assist undergraduate teaching, in particular, original introductory articles and commentaries, written by some of the leading historians of psychology in North America, have been attached to a number of the most important works.

The initial set of documents was chosen by the Editor of the project, Christopher D. Green of York University, in consultation with a number of other professional historians of psychology. Many of the subsequent documents were selected in response to the requests of the site's users.

"Why people do the things they do is an age-old question. However, psychology — the science concerned with behavior, in both human and nonhuman animals — first appeared in the 1870s. Despite its youth, it is a broad discipline, essentially spanning subject matter from biology to sociology. Psychologists have doctoral degrees. They study the intersection of two critical relationships: one between brain function and behavior, and another between the environment and behavior. As scientists, psychologists follow scientific methods, using careful observation, experimentation and analysis. But psychologists also need to be creative in the way they apply scientific findings."
